No instructions Hot Rod build

Post by sandboarder »

So I have all these bits

Revell 1929 Ford pickup body with AMT 1932 Ford 5 window sedan wheels

Add the Monogram 57 Nomad engine and a resin (Dana 60?) diff. Started a scratch chassis.

Let's see how far I get before my paint arrives

Looking forward to some hot rod goodness! Never done this kit, I have done the one that's a gold surfrod (28 ford) I think that comes with what looks like the same fiddle chrome bits thumbsup

Apart from spraying some red paint I didn't get too far with this. Ended up sealing the sway bar out on my 1:1 car n took it for a day today.

No kit buddy. These are all left over bits. The 29 Ford pick up comes with two body's so I thought I'd make use of the spare one. Figuring out the suspension n front axle will be the hardest bits I reckon.

I haven't gotten too far with this one. Wheels are red :D started the motor. There's still carbs and air cleaner to go on so I reckon it'll be taller then the windshield.

I was thinking the flat blue that I used on the 57 Nomad with a light coloured interior.
